ABSTRACT:
A fuel fill port device which contains overfill and prevents spillage, mounted by means of a flange through the deck or gunwale on pleasure boats or other marine vessels with internal fuel tanks. The device prevents spillage during fueling by means of an internal storage chamber, an internal sleeve, an independent tube and an independent compression spring located within the port device which together create a unique structure, which prevents overflow spillage during fueling by means of the device temporarily containing and storing the overfilled fuel and automatically flowing the stored fuel into the fuel tank. This is accomplished by strategically aligned chambers, sleeves, tubes and a spring which causes both the alignment and misalignment of positioned holes that when misaligned forms a storage chamber and when aligned forms a conduit directing the stored fuel into the fuel tank. The port device has a cap which when closed seals out all undesirable elements and when removed is tethered to the flange attachment that affixes this port device through the deck or gunwale of the vessel.
